Real stories from real people

Since 2005, Wyzant has provided a way for people to learn any subject in a way that works for them.

Heather S.

75 Phonics lessons

Christine's services are a major factor in my son's success. She is patient & connected with him in a way that induced him learning. She started working with him on phonics & provided worksheets in the areas that he needed help. He continues to get help from her with all subjects now to keep him on grade level but you can stop tutoring at anytime. If you have child that needs extra help then I highly recommend Christine.
Elizabeth W.

16 Phonics lessons

She has a wealth of experience as a teacher and also a wealth of experience as a reading specialist. My daughter needs help with both Math and Phonics/Reading, so finding Susan fills both of those needs. I would definitely recommend Susan. In two lessons, she has taught my daughter "little tricks" for subtraction and addition that are helping her with her timed Math tests. She has been great!
Olga S.

133 Phonics lessons

She progressed 4 to 5 levels in reading this year. Linda evaluated my daughter's reading skills and quickly understood that the typical phonics method would not work for my daughter. She adjusted the lessons to emphasize site reading skills and provided very effective reading materials to practice reading comprehension and speed. My daughter went from struggling even through the simplest of texts to reading easily.
